7615.10.50 - Cast

This HTS category, 7615.10.50, encompasses aluminum cooking and kitchen ware that is specifically cast. This includes items such as pots, pans, skillets, and other vessels designed for food preparation over heat. The defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is the manufacturing process – these articles are produced through casting, which involves pouring molten aluminum into a mold.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7615.10.71 "Other," which covers aluminum cooking and kitchen ware that is not cast. While both fall under the broader heading for aluminum kitchenware, 7615.10.50 is exclusively for cast items, whereas the "Other" category would include items manufactured through different processes, such as stamped, spun, or forged aluminum cookware.

Within this "Cast" category, further distinctions are made to refine the classification. Subcategory 7615.10.50.20 specifically covers aluminum bakeware, which is designed for oven use rather than stovetop cooking. The remaining items that are cast and meet the general description of cooking and kitchen ware, but are not bakeware, are classified under 7615.10.50.40 "Other."
